Globally prevent cargo new from creating .git directories inside newly created packages

Problem

When calling cargo new package_name, cargo by default creates a .git/ directory inside the newly created package. If that's not something that you want, continue reading.

Solution

Modify global Cargo config file

On Linux, it's typically ~/.cargo/config.toml, but other options are valid too.

If it doesn't exist yet - create one

~/.cargo/config.toml

[cargo-new]
vcs = "none"

That's it!

P.S. There are more options to explore. See this for further reference.
